Entry requirements

All applicants are evaluated according to their prior academic record, scores on the Graduate Record Examination, a personal statement, and letters of recommendation. Applicants are selected for fall semester admission only. However, all applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible because the selection process may begin well before the deadline. To be granted permission to pursue the MSCS, a student must submit to the MS program coordinator of the College of Computing the material required for admission to the MSCS program.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Graduate applications use one online graduate application (gradapp.gatech.edu) for all programmes and campuses; deadlines vary by programme and are published on each programme page.
